Enjoy reading this hilarious book with your class before exploring the resources based around key events and characters from the story.

Pupils will discuss things that could be confiscated at school, both now and in the past, and placed in the Confiscatorium beneath Bash Street School. They will also compare teachers at Bash Street, questioning them about events in the story. Finally, pupils will create their very own cyborg teacher and write their own stories about when he/she visits their school as a supply teacher!

Activities and outcomes are fully linked to the NCs for England, Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland.
